Homeorep +17

Homeopathic App to repertorise symptoms according to Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocketbook. Chapters and rubrics are editable, patient's data synchronized via iCloud.

Homeorep is an advanced and flexible homeopathic software for the repertorisation of symptoms. It has been developed for the demanding homeopaths who need a tool capable of helping them solve the ever different clinical cases encountered in daily practice. The symptoms can be repertorised according to the so called Boenninghausen's Method (with polarities and contraindications). The original Therapeutic Pocket Book is the core of the database. It can be edited. Users can enrich it by the addition of their own rubrics, define their own list of active remedies and even build up their own repertory. A patient record system allows clinical data and repertorisations to be saved for each consultation.


DATABASES

There are 4 tables of rubrics:
• Boenninghausen's THERAPEUTISCHES TASCHENBUCH (original german 1846)
• Boenninghausen's THERAPEUTIC POCKETBOOK (english translation 1847, entirely revised and corrected)
• Boenninghausen's MANUEL DE THERAPEUTIQUE HOMEOPATHIQUE (french new translation by Michel Ramillon © 2013-2021)
=> It is the same repertory of rubrics in 3 different languages. “The Sides of the Body and Drug Affinities 1853” also by C. von Boenninghausen was appended.
• PERSO is an initially empty table where users can build up a hierarchy of rubrics in the form BOOKS > CHAPTERS > RUBRICS > REMEDIES. Overtime each user will incorporate their own rubrics which they deem helpful to their personal practise.

There are 3 built-in lists of remedies:
• Boenninghausen (125 remedies)
• Hering (421 remedies)
• Extended (800+ remedies).
=> If one of these lists is defined as active, repertorisations will take into account only the remedies of this list. Each list is editable. They can be restored to their original state if necessary.


BOENNINGHAUSEN’S METHOD

• Boenninghausen’s method is actually Samuel Hahnemann’s inductive method carried to its highest point.
• The recomposition of a complete symptom through the combination of only 3 rubrics: Localisation + Sensation + Modality, gives already a first selection of possibly indicated remedies as a consequence of the underlying probabilistic structure of this unique repertory, which was ahead of its time and is still modern nowadays where the theory of probabilities and statistics has invaded almost all fields of sciences. Adding more (well selected) rubrics points out with increasing precision to the remedies which are the most likely indicated.


REPERTORISATION

• For each selection of rubrics Homeorep computes and sorts the remedy-columns of the evaluation grid according to a customizable sequence of priorities including: Grand Total, Number of Hits, Sum of Grades, Difference of Polarities.
• The repertorisation does not discriminate between rubrics coming from the TPB or the Perso tables. All rubrics selected by users are listed in the Selection page where they can be managed indifferently (eliminatory rubrics, polar status, combination of rubrics, etc.) before displaying the result of the repertorisation in the Evaluation page. After combining (merging or crossing) several rubrics in the Selection page, the combined rubric can easily be copied and pasted into the Perso table.


PATIENTS

• A Patient Data Management System enables to save personal and clinical data for each consultation, including case taking, prescriptions and repertorisations. For each consultation several repertorisations can be saved. Each repertorisation includes the list of selected rubrics and/or an image of the evaluation grid. A saved list of rubrics can be at any time called back to the Selection page where it can be modified.
